Earlier this year, Marvel delayed the release of Avengers: Secret Wars to May 7, 2027. Of course, this decision was made after the writers’ strike, but before the actors’ strike. Marvel was working on a few titles before the cast announced their strike. It’s like Deadpool 3. Unfortunately, this will cause multiple movie delays. However, there is good news as well. Marvel wants Sam Raimi to direct Avengers 6 .
The director of Avengers: Secret Wars has been leaked!
Marvel has confirmed that the MCU is heading to its Secret Wars finale. However, before that, brothers Anthony and Joe Russo had appeared in various rumors about Avengers 6 . They shined like stars with their success in Infinity War and Endgame . Considering all this, the Russo brothers are perfect for directing Secret Wars .
The Russo brothers have repeatedly denied any interest in the matter. However, this was long before the latest developments in the industry. It seems likely that there will be a delay in Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars . Marvel can deal with different directors for these huge projects. While there are dozens of projects delayed with the strike, it seems inevitable that the Russo brothers will agree with Marvel.
Marvel undoubtedly has another name in mind. It will be very exciting for Sam Raimi, who attracted the world’s attention with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, to return to the MCU. We should not forget this either. Of course, Marvel movies do not depend only on the success of the director. A good script and a good behind-the-scenes team are the keys to success.
The leaked information is not limited to who the director will be. If you’re familiar with the Avengers: Secret Wars rumors, you know that the movie could feature just about every Marvel character. We can see Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and the X-Men in Secret Wars. Even Spider-Verse characters may appear in Avengers 6.
Marvel did not make a definitive statement about when the movie will be released and its cast. Rumors have it that Secret Wars is so big that Marvel will have to split it into two parts. However, the Avengers 7 title is not official yet.
